Free Kingdom Hearts VR Experience Revealed for PSVR

Oh boy, TGS 2018 hasn’t even truly begun and it’s already delivering the goods! It’s been revealed today that a free Kingdom Hearts VR ‘experience’ is coming to PlayStation VR sometime before the end of this year, just in time to whet fans’ appetites before Kingdom Hearts III drops in January 2019.

It’s hard to say exactly what this VR app will entail at this stage, but the PlayStation Blog has this to say so far:

“Kingdom Hearts fans can relive some of their favorite memories from the storied franchise with this special, immersive experience. This holiday, gather your friends and family to enjoy a free 10-minute interactive video featuring the series’ iconic, breathtaking music. While we won’t spoil exactly what you’ll experience, we can confirm that you will also be able to unlock new content as you keep playing!”

Whatever that means, you can bet I’ll be checking this one out when it lands. Love me some Kingdom Hearts. Pop a squiz at the reveal trailer and some screenshots below, as well as a hot new trailer for the Big Hero 6 world in Kingdom Hearts III. As always, stick with us for more info as it comes!

Kieron started gaming on the SEGA Master System, with Sonic the Hedgehog, Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy. The 20-odd years of his life since have not seen his love for platformers falter even slightly. A separate love affair, this time with JRPGs, developed soon after being introduced to Final Fantasy VIII (ie, the best in the series). Further romantic subplots soon blossomed with quirky Japanese games, the occasional flashy AAA action adventure, and an unhealthy number of indie gems. To say that Kieron lies at the center of a tangled, labyrinthine web of sexy video game love would be an understatement.
